I've used my Amex and Visa cards many times for transactions under $5 but the other day I couldn't bring myself to use the Visa for a $1 transaction at a bookshop. I've had some strange looks from supermarket checkout staff when I've used the Amex card for under $5 but I figure big business can afford it.
I bought a bottle of water from a vending machine using my Amex today.
Hi my name's simongr and I have a points abuse problem...

The lowest value item I have ever put on an Amex was 39 cents. But that was during the 5K points per 5 transactions promotion.
Can beat that. I went to buy some chilli, lime, mint and a few bits and pieces. The *only* thing they had in the entire basket i needed was chilli. One chilli, $0.03c. They were going to give it to me free (also during the 5k per 5 promo and I had no cap). I politely refused and swiped away for 3c
